In this related prophecy, the emergence from darkness accompanies a gathering, similar to the gathering of the people under the Great Peacemaker after first being led into separate lands.
The people of the four nations, or four directions will be gathered in One someday, returned to a greater truth and greater way of living that is currently lost to the world.
Ever since, his coming has been anticipated and it is said that when he returns there will be no more fighting and trouble and he will bring much knowledge and wisdom with him.
Always when people seek out Glous’gap they must be prepared for a long and arduous journey, and so it was with the man the council chose for their messenger.
There appears to be a way of living that must be reclaimed for Zion to return to earth again.
The Midewiwin Lodge will serve as a rallying point for the people and its traditional ways will be the source of much strength. The Sacred Megis will lead the way to the chosen ground of the Anishinabe.
“If the New People will remain strong in their quest, the Waterdrum of the Midewiwin Lodge will again sound its voice. There will be a rebirth of the Anishinabe nation and rekindling of old flames. The Sacred Fire will again be lit.”
“By me kings reign and princes decree justice. By me princes rule and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.” Never doubt this claim by the Divine Mother.
“Between your mother in the East and myself in the West, all life from beginning to end is placed. My son, you are the connection between birth and death.”
The four parts of the wheel indicate the passing of time: birth, youth, adulthood, death. I’ve recently learned that the four corners of the earth in scripture also indicate markers of time, and not simply geographical directions.

“Let me fly over the Earth each day at dawn and look over the people. As long as I can report to you each day that there is still one person who sounds the Waterdrum or who uses Tobacco and the Pipe in the proper way, I beg you to spare the Earth for the sake of the unborn.”
Both the Anishinaabe people and those that believe in the Bible and other scriptures, teach that messengers from the Creator, are sent to teach those who are prepared to learn. In turn, those who are taught, likewise become a messenger, and are then directed to teach those who are not yet able themselves to be taught by messengers from heaven/the Creator.
Then the presiding Midewewinini shot the candidate with the Midemegis. The candidate fell dead, unmoving. The Midewewinini revived him with the breath of life, as Odaemin the first medicine man regained life. The candidate stood, renewed, and new.
Many years later when the first Anishinabeg had grown up and spirit woman was certain of their survival, she called her children to her. She told them that she was returning to the Land of Peace, to her proper place of abode.
“When it seemed that there was no hope left, Gitchie Manito decided to purify the Earth. He would do this with water…”
